JARBOE - Mahakali
JARBOE is a uniquely expressive voice—a musician, an artist, a personality. She draws from a variety of charged sources: her early exposure to snake-handling revivals in the Mississippi delta, parents who were in the FBI, her participation in a lounge act, experimental performance in gallery & live radio settings, and her 14-year career with critically acclaimed New York post-punk pioneers SWANS.
A primary objective for JARBOE is to close the gap between audience and performer via complete submission and vicarious experience through her performance. Her visceral vocals range from a shy schoolgirl to sultry seductress to downright demonic; her delivery can be at turns innocent, knowing, seductive, and vitriolic.
'Mahakali' sees JARBOE collaborating with a wide range of musicians including Phil Ansemlo (Pantera, Down), Attila Csihar (Mayhem, Sunn O)))), Colin Marston (Dysrhythmia, Behold...The Arctopus), Josh Graham (Neurosis, A Storm of Light), and many more to create an alluring and provactive listening experience that has to be heard to be believed!
“oozing a strange mixture of sex and menace… her vocals… are simply stunning” – Rock-A-Rolla
“Her shrieks and roars… are too scary, too open, too evil. Black Metal has not gone anywhere near this...." – Terrorizer
“[Jarboe] pairs the visual flair of performance art with a fiercely eclectic arsenal of styles, and she never shies away form the aggressive and the extreme.” – The New Yorker
"The Lon Chaney of disconsolate electrometal, mad, moody Jarboe has a thousand voices: a quivering curious cackle, an accursed coo, an unholy caterwaul.” – Philadelphia City Paper
